Abstract Among immunostimulants used in aquaculture, herbal is promising due to their propensities to improve growth performance, fish immunity, and their antimicrobial properties, as they are good alternatives to chemical treatments and antibiotics. As medicinal herbs are eco-friendly, cost effective, have minimal side effects, and they have gained attention in the prevention and treatment of fish diseases. Plant-derived compounds are reported to stimulate fish immunity due to the presence of many bioactive secondary metabolites, and studies comprising gene expression, proteomics, and metabolomics have improved the understanding of the effects that herbal compounds can have on fish immune status. The current review summarizes findings pertaining to the role of plant-derived compounds with immunostimulant properties in fish.

水产养殖中的草药免疫调节剂

摘要 在水产养殖中使用的免疫刺激剂中，草药具有改善生长性能、鱼类免疫力和抗菌特性的倾向，因此很有前景，因为它们是化学处理和抗生素的良好替代品。由于药材具有环保、成本效益、副作用小等特点，在鱼病防治方面备受关注。据报道，由于存在许多具有生物活性的次级代谢物，植物衍生化合物可刺激鱼类免疫，包括基因表达、蛋白质组学和代谢组学在内的研究提高了对草药化合物对鱼类免疫状态影响的理解。目前的综述总结了有关具有免疫刺激特性的植物衍生化合物在鱼类中的作用的发现。
